Esri Climate Resilience App Challenge 2014

And the winners are …

In support of the White House Climate Data initiative, Esri hosted the Climate Resilience App Challenge on March 9 through June 2, 2014. Many governments, private industries, and nonprofit organizations submitted game changing applications that promoted climate resilience. The number of useful app submissions that addressed the different aspects of climate change was outstanding. Our judges put a great deal of thought and care into their review of each app and selected these three winners.
